This Prince Consort Is No Pushover!

"The people are not satisfied with food and clothing, so there is no talk of stability. So if we want to change this situation, we must first solve the problem of clothing, food, housing and transportation for them. Only when they are satisfied and live well, they will not riot and the country will be stable." The cloud is like the moon.

Chu xuanchen nodded and said, "yue'er, there are so many refugees coming today, we should quickly build more houses to settle them. In addition, if we can let them exchange labor for food, for example, let them farm like other people, can they really settle down after such a long time?"

Hearing this, Yun ruoyue nodded immediately, "well, we can share land with the people. Anyway, these seven counties are your fiefs, and all the land is at your disposal."

"Yes, not only that, we can also mobilize the people to continue to reclaim wasteland and reclaim more land. In this way, the land is enough!" Chu xuanchen said.

Yun ruoyue nodded, "Yes. Also, xuanchen, there are too many roving bandits in the world, and they are forced to do so. I think rather than spend great efforts to suppress bandits, we might as well implement a benevolent policy on them, recruit them, work for them, so that they can use their own labor in return for pay. After they work for a period of time, if they perform well, we can share land with them and let them plant by themselves, so that society will be stable 。”

"Yes, I have the same idea." Chu xuanchen nodded, "to deal with these people, we can't be hard, hard will only make both sides hit the head and blood, and they may go to extremes and hurt the people after being forced. Only by letting them have enough food and clothing, the world will be really peaceful."

"Well, yes, if a society is prosperous and stable, and everyone has food, clothing, and housing, where will there be so many roving bandits?" The cloud is like the moon.

"OK, then I'll go to discuss the land distribution with the county magistrate Fang." Chu xuanchen said.

"Well, you go!"

-

Since Chu xuanchen went to Nanyue, no one dared to restrain Nalan Jun in Shengjing.

Without the restriction of Chu xuanchen, Nalan Jun continued to invade all walks of life in the state of Chu under the name of a virtuous king.

And his methods are more direct and intensified than before.

For example, after he mastered the livelihood industries such as rice, flour, oil and salt, he immediately implemented monopoly and raised the price of goods.

As soon as the price soared, the people were full of complaints and very angry.

Not only that, nalanjun also annexed a large number of lands in the state of Chu. He colluded with those officials and united with the local tyrants and evil gentry to seize and occupy many farmland, just for his own benefit.

Moreover, his hand gradually extended into the army.

Now there are many of his people in the political, military and business circles of Chu state, and his status is getting higher and higher, which seems to be unshakable.

However, these things were all done by naranjun behind the back of the virtuous king in private, and the virtuous king didn't know it at all.

On this day, after the king stepped down, he took a carriage all the way back to the prince's house.

As a result, the carriage drove to the street, and suddenly a group of ragged people surrounded the carriage.

As soon as everyone gathered around, they shouted one after another, "villagers, look, this is the carriage of the crown prince. The crown prince must be in it. Come on, we must ask him for an explanation."

"Yes, we must seek justice from him."

As they spoke, they rushed forward and surrounded the carriage.

Seeing this, Mo Yu, who was riding on the horse, hurriedly said, "bold! What are you doing? How dare you collide with the crown prince? Come on, drive them away quickly."

After Mo Yu finished speaking, the guards came forward one after another to push the people.

Of course, the people wouldn't let them, so the guards had to get started and hurriedly pushed them aside. The scene was immediately in chaos.

At this time, some people had shouted, "what are you pushing us for? We have to ask the prince for justice today."

"Your Highness the prince, you have no conscience! You colluded with your father-in-law to occupy our farmland, and you haven't seen us yet. You are heartless, and you are not worthy to be the prince!"

"That is, you are in collusion with naranjun, a nest of snakes and mice, bullying the people. Are you still human?"

Hearing the spitting sound of the people, the virtuous king in the carriage suddenly froze there.

He immediately lifted the curtain of the carriage and saw a lot of people surrounding his carriage, staring at him angrily.

"What's going on? Ink rain!" The virtuous king immediately spoke coldly.

Mo Yu hurriedly dismounted, quickly walked to the curtain of the car and respectfully said, "Your Highness, these people don't know what's wrong. They are scolding you one after another, as if this matter is also related to Lord Naran."

Saying this, he added, "please calm down, your highness, and your subordinates will immediately ask someone to drive them away."

"No! I'll figure it out today!" After saying this, the Xian king looked at the people steeply and said, "gentlemen, why are you so angry and what happened?"

"What happened? Don't you, the prince, know? You live with nalanjun snake and mouse, and you dare to pretend?" A middle-aged man was angry.

Xian Wang hurriedly said, "brother, I really don't know. Please come with me and make it clear."

"Do you think we will believe your nonsense? I ask you, you are already the prince's highness under one person and above ten thousand people. You have endless glory and wealth. Why do you call nalanjun to occupy our farmland?"

"Yes, in your name, Nalan Jun occupied the land of many people in our village. Not only that, he also monopolized prices. Now prices are soaring, and the same money can only buy one tenth of the rice before. Dare you say this has nothing to do with you?"

"That is, we ordinary people have suffered enough! But you have raised the price of rice, oil, and even salt several times higher than before. Do you still have a conscience?"

"Just because you arbitrarily raised prices, now we can't even afford porridge! Prince, nalanjun is your father-in-law. Everything he did was under your banner and for you. Dare you say you didn't know?"

"I tell you, we have been waiting for you for a long time. Today, we finally wait for you. You return our land, and you will lower the price!"

The people said, staring at the virtuous King excitedly, eager to tear him apart.

Hearing these words, Xian Wang's heart instantly cooled to the bottom of the valley.

I didn't expect that naranjun went under his banner to forcibly occupy other people's land and wantonly raise prices.

He immediately looked at the crowd and said, "gentlemen, this palace really didn't know about this. I'll send someone to investigate this matter immediately. If it's true, I will stabilize prices as soon as possible and return your land to you!"

"Who knows if what you said is true or false?"

"That's to say nothing. Nalan Jun is your father-in-law, so we don't believe you will help us."
